Fairly clear, but slightly hazy orange and copper coloured body with a two to three centimetre tall soapy tan head with large bubbles that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of grapefruit, grass, resin, flowers, alcohol, nice rich malt with a good deal of sweetness noticeable. Medium to Full-bodied; Sweet citrus and grapefruit flavours show at first with a lot of alcohol, robust hop bitterness, resin, supportive malt with a touch of chamomile floral notes that end with a slightly astringent and medicinal flavour at the end. Aftertaste is robust, very flavourful and balanced throughout, with a lot of citrus notes with both fruit and bitterness, some good resinous and piney flavours and a touch of nice sweetness on the end along with some alcohol, of course. Overall, a balanced and enjoyable, 'almost' Imperial IPA with some good, smooth hop notes, but more fruit and balance than you'd expect, which makes this go down easily. Great to sample fresh, especially here on the East Coast! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Krisp Market (BestDamnBeerShop) in San Diego, California on 25-February-2020 for US$5,99 sampled at home in Washington on 16-March-2020.

Taster pour on tap at Boneyard Bistro. Appearance is opaque yellow (orange juice) with no sparkle, finger-width foamy white head with excellent retention and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is sweet candy--like a pink or purple sweet tart--cherry and grape. Taste follows aroma along with some offsetting mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, creamy, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, a unique aroma/flavor profile but not sure I love it. Not complex. OK.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated January 9, 2020. Aroma is hop forward with light grain and cracker malt notes. Mango, passion fruit, guava, pineapple and tropical citrus with dank, resin notes. Hint of alcohol spice. Pours a very hazy, dull, dusty, yellow straw with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly but steadily to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light cracker malt and oat notes. Moderately strong pineapple and tropical citrus not s with lighter guava, passion fruit.and mango. Moderate dank, resin notes and a a hint of alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA with lots of great hop notes. I wish there was a bit less of an oat character in the flavor, but it's not as prevalent as in the aroma.

Good black body and modest foam, nice sweet milky coffee on the nose. Flavour is mellow sweet milk stout. Simple and straight ahead but well brewed.
